Rabbi Jacob Tarshish to
Deliver Addresses in
Olentangy Park
It, was told of some gathering- of some Committee of Zionists, Init I suppose it could l)c huiij; on iiny ^roup—tliis story wliich J gut from Dr. Mordecai Gross¬ man.
A member of the Committee was in a rather dcspoiidcnt mow!. He looked out at the 'world and saw war and poverty and hypocrisy and stupidity, and hatred and jealousy and a half dozen other thiiigs. Besides the liver in his dinner was not just right. In fact, he was suf¬ fering, I am told, from indigestion, so as I was sayinH", he looked out upon the world with jaundiced eyes. God looked out on llie world and said it was good. But this Zionist Committeeman, I am sorry to say, looked put on the world, and his opinion didn't coincide with the Heav¬ enly One. iSo he beBaii to talk to tlie Committee,
"You know," he said, addre.'tsinff his fellow mcinbers, "this biR world—big as it i.s—can really be divided into two classes — just two classes — Jews and Goyim—and, my friends, you know what Goyim are."
"And further," he continued, "J^ws can be divided into two classes—Zionists and non-Zionists, and you know what non-Zionists are. '
"And still further, Zionists can be di¬ vided into two. classes, the members of , this Committee and the rank and file, And you know what the rank and file are.
"And zuwischeii uns redcndik (speak¬ ing among ourselves) T need not tell you what we are.".
In brJei, you will gather the Commit¬ teeman harbored an unflattering view of all humanity.
Speaking of Fruit ^
But if some are always knockers, there are boosters,^ too. I am sure the chair¬ man in the story which Leo Schwartz, editor of the Young Judaean, tells me, was a booster.
It happened in the city of Boston. It was also a Zionist meeting. There were maiiy of the elite of the city at this meet¬ ing—in fact, the Mayor of Boston him¬ self was among the speakers. Naturally, if you werq a chairman and had to intro¬ duce a Mayor, you would he scratching /our head, trying tq think of something flattering to say. . Aiid the chairman did just this.
^ "Ladies and ..gentlemen," he hegan, "when I was,a youngster I used to like prunes. I would w-alk a mile then for a prune. I liked them so much that my mother used to cook them at least once a week for my benefit. And she had her ovvn way of arranging these prunes—bless her heart—so that they would look even more appetizing. My mother used to place the prunes all around the dish in a circle—and in the midst of the circle, she would place the biggest prune of them all. Andinvhen I ate them, I always ate the little prunes first and then finished up with the biggest prune. And, my friends, that is what we are doing today. You have heard all the lesser people. Now you can hear the biggest prune of them all—his Honor, the Mayor." Dr. Wise's Eyes And that reminds me of. another story that I have just heard ahout Dr. Wise. Recently, the gifted leader ot the Free Synagogue was suiTcring from a sore throat. Dr. Wise, be it said here, is very attached to his grandson—the young son of James Waterman Wise. And with a sore throat, he thought he had best absent himself from his son's home, lest the temptation to play with his grandson overcome him—and then there was the danger of infecting the child with his sore throat germs.
Not visiting his son's home for several days, the maid at his son's home was led ^Continued on page 2)

LOCAL JEWISH WOMEN HELP STADIUM CON¬ CERTS PROJECT
Cantor Glantz to Officiate (or
First Time in Columbus
Early in July
Although Cantor Leib Glantz who is to appear at the Agudath Achim Syna- gojsuc on July Sth. 9th and lOth is not ([uite thirty years old, he hasv^had many years of cantorial experience, as since the age of eight he has been conducting services in a manner which endeared him as the darling of the localities in which he appeared, with the women sending their whole-hearted blessings to the little .boy v^lio sang so beautifully and prayed so fervently and understandingly for the entire congregation.
While Cantor Glantz'.s voice was ma¬ turing he made a serious study of the age-old iHebrew melodies, and took a general course in the Conservatory of Music in Kiev, Russia. Possessed of unusual intelligence and ability he Was always at the head of the class, and. that he deserved the inany honors showered upon him, is proven by the fact that Cantor Glantz has since been acclaimed as one of the greatest creative artists of synagogical music, both as composer and interpreter, as well as an authority on traditional, liturgical and secular music. Cnntor Glantz is a disciple of the great Pinchas Minkowski of Odessa,,who was a world figure in the field of Jewish music and literature, and just like him is opposed to modern adaptation of opera and street songs to the music of the synagogue. He has succeeded, however, in giving the old traditional melbdies ¦ known as: "Nusach" a riiodern musical aspect. His compositions re-echo .all of the dreamy charm of the .Orient, at the same time followin^^ a modern trend, at times suggesting Rimsky-Korsakoff, De¬ bussy or Stravinsky. His unusual voice, rich knowledge of music, poignant and heart-touching pi-aying style instill a spirit imbued with, the relia;ious fervor Ojf the services, bred in the orthodox traditions of the Old-World in modern musical setting.
Cantor Glantz, ' hovfever, is, not the product of the synagogue alone, for in the Conservatory he studied composition, piano and, singing. It was the piano to" which he expected to devote his career, but as events developed it was his first talent which claimed him for his pro- fes.^ion.
'While it is more than certain that Cantor Glantz will prove a phenomenal artistic success it is also the wish of those who are bringing him here to make it a financial success so that the Colum¬ bus Hebrew School which is struggling •SO desperately for. its existence might benefit materially by it, and in order to bring this about, the sponsors of this undertaking are urging every'Jewish per¬ son to he on hand when Cantor Glantz sings. EsiKcially it is urged that no parent having a child attending the He¬ brew School be absent from any of the services which will be conducted by Cantor Glantz on Friday evening, July 8th, 'Saturday morning. July Oth, and Sunday evening, July 10th.
Considering the times the price of ad¬ mission has been made exceptionally low, and it is the duty, therefore, of every man and woman who pride themselves in the achievements of our local Talmud Torah not to fail to be present and bring their neighbor along, as it will be a spiritual and musical festival not soon to be forgotten. At the same time it will afford some measure of relief to the in- stitutiop where the character of our young is being molded and cared for in a manner which is truly Jewish and ad¬ mirable.
Tickets can te had by calling A. W. Robbins, FAirfax 4512 or GArfield 3944, or the CoUimbus Hebrew School.

fields of endeavor, he has achieved an enviable repiitation for'his untiring efforts in every movement dedicated to the pub¬ lic weal.
Splendid Traininfr
Born In Mobile, Ala., on Nov. 7th, 1893, he wa*-educated at Barton Academy in Mobile, graduating from there in 1909. He received his B. H. L., from the He¬ brew Union College in 1913, and was or¬ dained as Rabbi in 1918. It is interesting to note that he was popular as a student at the Cincinnati Seminary; he was the valedictorian of his class.
Besides his work, at the Hebrew Union College, he pursued his secular studies at the University of .Cincinnati where he received his B. A. degree in 1914 and his M. A. in 1915. Between 1915 and 1917 he did post-graduate work in philosophy ' at the University of Cincinnati. He has also studied at the University of Chicago and Brown University.
An Active Man
Rabbi Gujp has lectured before many learned bodies and has taken an active part in various fraternal orders,-among them the Masonic Order, and the B'nai B'rith. He married Ruth Helen Stem, March IS, 1919, at Cincinnati, Ohio, and is the proUd father of two children. One of the features of his rabbinate at Provi¬ dence was his frequent interchange of pulpits with leading Protestant clergy¬ men I another was his ceaseless activity in furthering the program of the Boy Scouts of Rhode Island. Various anti¬ tuberculosis societies in the East have
benefited by his labors and his unflag¬ ging interest. He is held in high repute by his brothers in the Masonic Order where he has attained the 32nd degree. When Cardinal Mercier of Belgium vis¬ ited Providence in 1919, Rabbi Gup de¬ livered the address of welcome. A Consecrated Worker In speaking to the editor of the Ohio Jewish Chronicle regarding Rabbi Gup, Mr. Leon. J. Goodnian, president of the Bryden Road Temple, expressed his high regard for him not only as a man but also as a consecrated worker in the 'Vine¬ yard of the Lord.
"I am confident," asserted Mr, Good¬ man, "that we have found the right man to lead us to greater and more illustrious achievements. Rabbi Gup deserves the respect and co-operation of every mem¬ ber of Temple Israel,"
At the meeting Sunday night, reports were made by all tlie officers as well as by the standing committees. Special honors were conferred upon Mrs. Sol¬ omon Loeb who has been teaching in the Religious School of Temple Israel for over .n half a ceiilury. On behalf of the Congregation as well as the Religious school, Mr. Leo Yassenoff presented Mrs. Loeb with a beautiful cameo brbocU in token of the high esteem in \yhich she is held by the officers and the entire congre¬ gation.
The chief address of the evening was delivered by Dr. Louis Wolsey of Temple Rodeph 'Sholom of Philadelphia who spoke about the imperishable ideals of Judaism and the imperative necessity of strict adherence to these ideals. He de¬ rided some of the younger men in the rabbinate who are breaking away from the time-honored principles of their fathers and are attempting to supplant the worship "of the one true God with the worship of humanity."
"I will not hold my peace," he de¬ clared, "until all Israel is awakened to the realization that such a procedure is inimical to the welfare of our people and their mission as a kingdom of priests." New Board Members Rabbi Wolsey was introduced by Ed¬ win J. Schanfarber as one of the shining lights of the American rabbinate. Leon J. Goodman presided at the dinner-meet¬ ing. The following new men were elected lo serve on the Board of Trustees dur¬ ing the coming year: Dr. E. J. Goi-don, (iQ2 East Town Street; A. B. Weinfeld, lOi) N. Cassingham Road; and Robert K, Levy. These men will serve together with Leon J. Goodman, Max H, Rieser, Simo^ Lazarus, Edwin J. Schanfarber, Dr. Samuel D. Edelman, M. L. Yuster, Arthur' E. Loeb, Leo Yassenoff, 1. A. Glick, Arthur J. Isaac, and Mrs. W, A. Hersch,
The affair was a successful one in every respect and was arranged under the direction -of Mrs. Sol W. Goldsmith and Mrs. W. A, Herscti.
It has been definitely announced that the Temple edifice will soon be enlarged in order to increase the capacity of the religious' school, so that the children will not be. obliged to use East High School next season. The remodeling will be done in such a manner as to Improve the facilities of the Religious School in a remarkable degree.
TIic large crowd which turned out last Tuesday evening at Central High School to witness the first production of the Jewish Musical and Dramatic Club of Colunilui*; vvas not disappointed.. Jn fact the presentation of "Akeidas Yitzchok" \Vas of such a meritorious nature that it evoked the most ilattering encomiums of both critics and laymen.
The work of the cantor as well as of Samuel L Geichman, Mrs. Solomon Grod¬ ner, Minna Volk. Clara Volk, Rudolph Schilling, Reva Zuravsky, and Luigi Nuzzo, was especially singled out by the, critics. .
As was explained in the Qironicle of last week, "Akeidas Yitzchok" deals with the age-old affection between father and son. Abraham Goldfadden, the author of the biblical opera, enhances this beauti¬ ful alTcction in this musical interpreta¬ tion of Abraham's love and his faith in his son Isaac and iivhis God. The splen¬ did cast gathered together by Cantor Grothier depicted most vividly and realis¬ tically the beautiful story which has come down to us from antiqviity.
Mrs. Grodner, who portrayed the part of Sarah, was splendid in her interpreta¬ tion both dramatically as well as in vocal ¦expression. A.braham'5 part was ably played by Samuel L Geichman; the part of Isaac was well rendered by Minna Volk. The peculiar character of Lot was commendably enacted by Rudolph Schil¬ ling, dramatic coach for the opera. Mr. Schilling's natural ability as a comedian was convincingly displayed Tuesday evening. Bertha Lerer as. Lot's wife was very, amusing; Mr. Max Lerer did ex¬ ceptionally well as the faithful servant of Abraham, Eleazer. The parts of the two wanderers were splendidly portrayed by Miss Reva Zuravsky and Mr. Lutgi Nuzzo.
Kay Davis and Frances Goldberg, as the two daughters of Lot, presented an exceedingly amusing part of the oprea in a commendable fashion. The remainder of the cast consisted of Sylvia Grodner, Isadore Zeldin, Sam Weinberg, Sonny Malinoff, and Mollie Luper. all of whom showed' talent of. a high order in their respective parts.
Much credit is also due to the follow¬ ing musicians who co-operated -with the professional orchestra: Lillian Levin, Evelyn Levin, Joe Berman, Eva Berman, Ruth Margulis and Sylvia Block.
In every respect the entire presentation of "Akeidas Yitzcliok" at Central High Scfiool, Juiie~2lst, was a genuine treat for the Jewish people of Columbus, one that will linger long in the meniories of many.
Morris Supran, president of the Jew¬ ish .Musical and Dramatic Club which sponsored the production of "Akeidas Yitzchok," announces that in one week a charter will be applied for by. the or¬ ganization. Those who j oin prior to June 30th will be enrolled as charter members.
It is gratifying to know, that Columbus Jewry is responding beautifully to the nppcal recently issued by Messrs. Edwin J. Schanfarber and Simon Lazarus on belialf of the S;12>000 Fund being raised here for Foreign Relief as well as vari¬ ous American Jewish institutions. This Iirovcs that the Jews of Central Ohio are loyal to the heart's core in their attitude towards tlieir fellowmen and feel keenly the desire to bring them succor and re¬ lief. Ill spite of existing conditions they are ready to make sacrifices in order to alleviate the sufferings of their co-re¬ ligionists wherever they may live.
Get Ready for B'nai BVitb
Picnic on Sunday,
July lOtb
On Sunday, July 10th, at Oak Park, Zion Lodge No. 62, B'nai B'rith, will sponsor its annual picnic. President Robert L. Mellman announces that the committee on arrangements is composed of the follo.wing: Harry Schwartz, chair¬ man; Frank V. Bayer, Louis A. Gertner, Samuel Gurevitz, Abe A. Wolman, I. W. Garek, Walter Katz, Louis Rosenthal, Robert Suid, Ben Z. Neustadt, Louis Brickner, and Allan Tarshish. Among the events scheduled for the picnic are dancing, sports-of all kinds, and contests of all descriptions. Frank V. Bayer has charge of the dancing; Louis Gertner is in charge of the adult games; Sam Gure¬ vitz, and Abe Wolman are in charge of the children's games and stunts.'
Purthcr details about the picnic will appear in the next Issue of the Chronicle.
At this writing over $8,000 has already been pledged; close to 200 people have as yet not been visited by the various compiittces who are co-operating in the present effort. Practically every family which is in a position to contribute has received letters explaining clearly the purposes for which the present drive was launched. Previous issues of the Qbio Jewish Chronicle have,also contained de- . tailed expositions regarding this matter. If the designated goal will be achieved, Columbus will have rendered its full duty to the 1932 Fund of the American Joint Distribution Committee for foreign relief ' as well as to the various American Jew¬ ish causes now demanding support and financial aid.
The purpose of these editorial remarks at this time is to remind those in our community who have not as yet an¬ nounced their pledges that they should hasten to do so.
The appeal has been endorsed by the leading representative Jews of this city; every penny, raised will be used in a most practical and worthwhile fashion.
As Mr, .Schanf-arber asserted in an in¬ terview with the editor of the Ohio Jew¬ ish Chronicle, Wednesdaymorning, "The Jews of Columbus have always dis¬ charged their obligations in ^ most ex¬ emplary manner, and I am certain that they will do their part manfully in the present appeal. $12,000 is what is, now being. a6ught from this community. This sum vifill take, care of the JDC quota from Columbus as welL as the demands of the Cleveland Jewish Orphan Home, the National Jewish, Hospital at Denver, the Leo N.'Levi Memorial Hospital at Hot Springs, the American Jewish Com¬ mittee, the Anti-Defamation League of the B'nai B'TitH, the Denver Children's Home, the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, and various other causes. It will also obviate tbe necessity foi- miscellaneous drives. ¦ I trust that no one will turn a deaf ear to this imperative appeal; every one should do his bit."
**¦***, Racial dislike of Jews is due to fear and to imbedded social customs and atti¬ tudes. Dean Richard Tyler of the Uni¬ versity of Washington, College of Engi¬ neering, declared before a Y. W- C. A. group meeting in Seattle to which Jewish students vi^ere invited.
. "I envy a minority group such as the , Jewish race, though," Dean Tyler said, "because the opportunity—often a neces¬ sity—of overcoming obstacles develops a stronger and more powerful character."
Coming as they do from the mouth of a, highly intelligent educator, these remarks challenge the attention of all thoughtful co-religionists,. I am wonder¬ ing how much of truth there is contained in thein; will my readeri kindly inform me of their reaction?

Recently, the gifted leader ot the Free Synagogue was suiTcring from a sore throat. Dr. Wise, be it said here, is very attached to his grandson—the young son of James Waterman Wise. And with a sore throat, he thought he had best absent himself from his son's home, lest the temptation to play with his grandson overcome him—and then there was the danger of infecting the child with his sore throat germs.
Not visiting his son's home for several days, the maid at his son's home was led ^Continued on page 2)

LOCAL JEWISH WOMEN HELP STADIUM CON¬ CERTS PROJECT
Cantor Glantz to Officiate (or
First Time in Columbus
Early in July
Although Cantor Leib Glantz who is to appear at the Agudath Achim Syna- gojsuc on July Sth. 9th and lOth is not ([uite thirty years old, he hasv^had many years of cantorial experience, as since the age of eight he has been conducting services in a manner which endeared him as the darling of the localities in which he appeared, with the women sending their whole-hearted blessings to the little .boy v^lio sang so beautifully and prayed so fervently and understandingly for the entire congregation.
While Cantor Glantz'.s voice was ma¬ turing he made a serious study of the age-old iHebrew melodies, and took a general course in the Conservatory of Music in Kiev, Russia. Possessed of unusual intelligence and ability he Was always at the head of the class, and. that he deserved the inany honors showered upon him, is proven by the fact that Cantor Glantz has since been acclaimed as one of the greatest creative artists of synagogical music, both as composer and interpreter, as well as an authority on traditional, liturgical and secular music. Cnntor Glantz is a disciple of the great Pinchas Minkowski of Odessa,,who was a world figure in the field of Jewish music and literature, and just like him is opposed to modern adaptation of opera and street songs to the music of the synagogue. He has succeeded, however, in giving the old traditional melbdies ¦ known as: "Nusach" a riiodern musical aspect. His compositions re-echo .all of the dreamy charm of the .Orient, at the same time followin^^ a modern trend, at times suggesting Rimsky-Korsakoff, De¬ bussy or Stravinsky. His unusual voice, rich knowledge of music, poignant and heart-touching pi-aying style instill a spirit imbued with, the relia;ious fervor Ojf the services, bred in the orthodox traditions of the Old-World in modern musical setting.
Cantor Glantz, ' hovfever, is, not the product of the synagogue alone, for in the Conservatory he studied composition, piano and, singing. It was the piano to" which he expected to devote his career, but as events developed it was his first talent which claimed him for his pro- fes.^ion.
'While it is more than certain that Cantor Glantz will prove a phenomenal artistic success it is also the wish of those who are bringing him here to make it a financial success so that the Colum¬ bus Hebrew School which is struggling •SO desperately for. its existence might benefit materially by it, and in order to bring this about, the sponsors of this undertaking are urging every'Jewish per¬ son to he on hand when Cantor Glantz sings. EsiKcially it is urged that no parent having a child attending the He¬ brew School be absent from any of the services which will be conducted by Cantor Glantz on Friday evening, July 8th, 'Saturday morning. July Oth, and Sunday evening, July 10th.
Considering the times the price of ad¬ mission has been made exceptionally low, and it is the duty, therefore, of every man and woman who pride themselves in the achievements of our local Talmud Torah not to fail to be present and bring their neighbor along, as it will be a spiritual and musical festival not soon to be forgotten. At the same time it will afford some measure of relief to the in- stitutiop where the character of our young is being molded and cared for in a manner which is truly Jewish and ad¬ mirable.
Tickets can te had by calling A. W. Robbins, FAirfax 4512 or GArfield 3944, or the CoUimbus Hebrew School.

fields of endeavor, he has achieved an enviable repiitation for'his untiring efforts in every movement dedicated to the pub¬ lic weal.
Splendid Traininfr
Born In Mobile, Ala., on Nov. 7th, 1893, he wa*-educated at Barton Academy in Mobile, graduating from there in 1909. He received his B. H. L., from the He¬ brew Union College in 1913, and was or¬ dained as Rabbi in 1918. It is interesting to note that he was popular as a student at the Cincinnati Seminary; he was the valedictorian of his class.
Besides his work, at the Hebrew Union College, he pursued his secular studies at the University of .Cincinnati where he received his B. A. degree in 1914 and his M. A. in 1915. Between 1915 and 1917 he did post-graduate work in philosophy ' at the University of Cincinnati. He has also studied at the University of Chicago and Brown University.
An Active Man
Rabbi Gujp has lectured before many learned bodies and has taken an active part in various fraternal orders,-among them the Masonic Order, and the B'nai B'rith. He married Ruth Helen Stem, March IS, 1919, at Cincinnati, Ohio, and is the proUd father of two children. One of the features of his rabbinate at Provi¬ dence was his frequent interchange of pulpits with leading Protestant clergy¬ men I another was his ceaseless activity in furthering the program of the Boy Scouts of Rhode Island. Various anti¬ tuberculosis societies in the East have
benefited by his labors and his unflag¬ ging interest. He is held in high repute by his brothers in the Masonic Order where he has attained the 32nd degree. When Cardinal Mercier of Belgium vis¬ ited Providence in 1919, Rabbi Gup de¬ livered the address of welcome. A Consecrated Worker In speaking to the editor of the Ohio Jewish Chronicle regarding Rabbi Gup, Mr. Leon. J. Goodnian, president of the Bryden Road Temple, expressed his high regard for him not only as a man but also as a consecrated worker in the 'Vine¬ yard of the Lord.
"I am confident," asserted Mr, Good¬ man, "that we have found the right man to lead us to greater and more illustrious achievements. Rabbi Gup deserves the respect and co-operation of every mem¬ ber of Temple Israel,"
At the meeting Sunday night, reports were made by all tlie officers as well as by the standing committees. Special honors were conferred upon Mrs. Sol¬ omon Loeb who has been teaching in the Religious School of Temple Israel for over .n half a ceiilury. On behalf of the Congregation as well as the Religious school, Mr. Leo Yassenoff presented Mrs. Loeb with a beautiful cameo brbocU in token of the high esteem in \yhich she is held by the officers and the entire congre¬ gation.
The chief address of the evening was delivered by Dr. Louis Wolsey of Temple Rodeph 'Sholom of Philadelphia who spoke about the imperishable ideals of Judaism and the imperative necessity of strict adherence to these ideals. He de¬ rided some of the younger men in the rabbinate who are breaking away from the time-honored principles of their fathers and are attempting to supplant the worship "of the one true God with the worship of humanity."
"I will not hold my peace," he de¬ clared, "until all Israel is awakened to the realization that such a procedure is inimical to the welfare of our people and their mission as a kingdom of priests." New Board Members Rabbi Wolsey was introduced by Ed¬ win J. Schanfarber as one of the shining lights of the American rabbinate. Leon J. Goodman presided at the dinner-meet¬ ing. The following new men were elected lo serve on the Board of Trustees dur¬ ing the coming year: Dr. E. J. Goi-don, (iQ2 East Town Street; A. B. Weinfeld, lOi) N. Cassingham Road; and Robert K, Levy. These men will serve together with Leon J. Goodman, Max H, Rieser, Simo^ Lazarus, Edwin J. Schanfarber, Dr. Samuel D. Edelman, M. L. Yuster, Arthur' E. Loeb, Leo Yassenoff, 1. A. Glick, Arthur J. Isaac, and Mrs. W, A. Hersch,
The affair was a successful one in every respect and was arranged under the direction -of Mrs. Sol W. Goldsmith and Mrs. W. A, Herscti.
It has been definitely announced that the Temple edifice will soon be enlarged in order to increase the capacity of the religious' school, so that the children will not be. obliged to use East High School next season. The remodeling will be done in such a manner as to Improve the facilities of the Religious School in a remarkable degree.
TIic large crowd which turned out last Tuesday evening at Central High School to witness the first production of the Jewish Musical and Dramatic Club of Colunilui*; vvas not disappointed.. Jn fact the presentation of "Akeidas Yitzchok" \Vas of such a meritorious nature that it evoked the most ilattering encomiums of both critics and laymen.
The work of the cantor as well as of Samuel L Geichman, Mrs. Solomon Grod¬ ner, Minna Volk. Clara Volk, Rudolph Schilling, Reva Zuravsky, and Luigi Nuzzo, was especially singled out by the, critics. .
As was explained in the Qironicle of last week, "Akeidas Yitzchok" deals with the age-old affection between father and son. Abraham Goldfadden, the author of the biblical opera, enhances this beauti¬ ful alTcction in this musical interpreta¬ tion of Abraham's love and his faith in his son Isaac and iivhis God. The splen¬ did cast gathered together by Cantor Grothier depicted most vividly and realis¬ tically the beautiful story which has come down to us from antiqviity.
Mrs. Grodner, who portrayed the part of Sarah, was splendid in her interpreta¬ tion both dramatically as well as in vocal ¦expression. A.braham'5 part was ably played by Samuel L Geichman; the part of Isaac was well rendered by Minna Volk. The peculiar character of Lot was commendably enacted by Rudolph Schil¬ ling, dramatic coach for the opera. Mr. Schilling's natural ability as a comedian was convincingly displayed Tuesday evening. Bertha Lerer as. Lot's wife was very, amusing; Mr. Max Lerer did ex¬ ceptionally well as the faithful servant of Abraham, Eleazer. The parts of the two wanderers were splendidly portrayed by Miss Reva Zuravsky and Mr. Lutgi Nuzzo.
Kay Davis and Frances Goldberg, as the two daughters of Lot, presented an exceedingly amusing part of the oprea in a commendable fashion. The remainder of the cast consisted of Sylvia Grodner, Isadore Zeldin, Sam Weinberg, Sonny Malinoff, and Mollie Luper. all of whom showed' talent of. a high order in their respective parts.
Much credit is also due to the follow¬ ing musicians who co-operated -with the professional orchestra: Lillian Levin, Evelyn Levin, Joe Berman, Eva Berman, Ruth Margulis and Sylvia Block.
In every respect the entire presentation of "Akeidas Yitzcliok" at Central High Scfiool, Juiie~2lst, was a genuine treat for the Jewish people of Columbus, one that will linger long in the meniories of many.
Morris Supran, president of the Jew¬ ish .Musical and Dramatic Club which sponsored the production of "Akeidas Yitzchok," announces that in one week a charter will be applied for by. the or¬ ganization. Those who j oin prior to June 30th will be enrolled as charter members.
It is gratifying to know, that Columbus Jewry is responding beautifully to the nppcal recently issued by Messrs. Edwin J. Schanfarber and Simon Lazarus on belialf of the S;12>000 Fund being raised here for Foreign Relief as well as vari¬ ous American Jewish institutions. This Iirovcs that the Jews of Central Ohio are loyal to the heart's core in their attitude towards tlieir fellowmen and feel keenly the desire to bring them succor and re¬ lief. Ill spite of existing conditions they are ready to make sacrifices in order to alleviate the sufferings of their co-re¬ ligionists wherever they may live.
Get Ready for B'nai BVitb
Picnic on Sunday,
July lOtb
On Sunday, July 10th, at Oak Park, Zion Lodge No. 62, B'nai B'rith, will sponsor its annual picnic. President Robert L. Mellman announces that the committee on arrangements is composed of the follo.wing: Harry Schwartz, chair¬ man; Frank V. Bayer, Louis A. Gertner, Samuel Gurevitz, Abe A. Wolman, I. W. Garek, Walter Katz, Louis Rosenthal, Robert Suid, Ben Z. Neustadt, Louis Brickner, and Allan Tarshish. Among the events scheduled for the picnic are dancing, sports-of all kinds, and contests of all descriptions. Frank V. Bayer has charge of the dancing; Louis Gertner is in charge of the adult games; Sam Gure¬ vitz, and Abe Wolman are in charge of the children's games and stunts.'
Purthcr details about the picnic will appear in the next Issue of the Chronicle.
At this writing over $8,000 has already been pledged; close to 200 people have as yet not been visited by the various compiittces who are co-operating in the present effort. Practically every family which is in a position to contribute has received letters explaining clearly the purposes for which the present drive was launched. Previous issues of the Qbio Jewish Chronicle have,also contained de- . tailed expositions regarding this matter. If the designated goal will be achieved, Columbus will have rendered its full duty to the 1932 Fund of the American Joint Distribution Committee for foreign relief ' as well as to the various American Jew¬ ish causes now demanding support and financial aid.
The purpose of these editorial remarks at this time is to remind those in our community who have not as yet an¬ nounced their pledges that they should hasten to do so.
The appeal has been endorsed by the leading representative Jews of this city; every penny, raised will be used in a most practical and worthwhile fashion.
As Mr, .Schanf-arber asserted in an in¬ terview with the editor of the Ohio Jew¬ ish Chronicle, Wednesdaymorning, "The Jews of Columbus have always dis¬ charged their obligations in ^ most ex¬ emplary manner, and I am certain that they will do their part manfully in the present appeal. $12,000 is what is, now being. a6ught from this community. This sum vifill take, care of the JDC quota from Columbus as welL as the demands of the Cleveland Jewish Orphan Home, the National Jewish, Hospital at Denver, the Leo N.'Levi Memorial Hospital at Hot Springs, the American Jewish Com¬ mittee, the Anti-Defamation League of the B'nai B'TitH, the Denver Children's Home, the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, and various other causes. It will also obviate tbe necessity foi- miscellaneous drives. ¦ I trust that no one will turn a deaf ear to this imperative appeal; every one should do his bit."
**¦***, Racial dislike of Jews is due to fear and to imbedded social customs and atti¬ tudes. Dean Richard Tyler of the Uni¬ versity of Washington, College of Engi¬ neering, declared before a Y. W- C. A. group meeting in Seattle to which Jewish students vi^ere invited.
. "I envy a minority group such as the , Jewish race, though," Dean Tyler said, "because the opportunity—often a neces¬ sity—of overcoming obstacles develops a stronger and more powerful character."
Coming as they do from the mouth of a, highly intelligent educator, these remarks challenge the attention of all thoughtful co-religionists,. I am wonder¬ ing how much of truth there is contained in thein; will my readeri kindly inform me of their reaction?
